Hi Carol,

I am 50. and have recently moved from Boston, MA to Texas--a move from the same house I’ve lived in all my life since I was born, and where I raised my two two kids. My family is scattered now, and the move felt like something I had to do. It just didn't feel healthy to live there anymore.
 
Now I am here in Texas, ironically with no family, except my teen-aged children. I know I did the right thing. I know I am here for a purpose.  However, the purpose has not shown its face to me, or maybe I haven’t been looking.  It’s pretty  lonely here, which is understandable, but then it was lonely in the place where I grew up, too. Did I make the right decision to move here?  

As I re-read my question I can see I feeling the overwhelming feeling of moving to a new place, no friends, no family--and hoping that, long  term, everything will work out.  SS.

Dear SS,
    Good for you for making this big move!  I looked at your numerology chart and here is what I think.  It looks to me like during the last two years, you have felt a need for closure on something.  This feeling of wanting to put the past to rest galvanized you to make the change.  It’s likely that  you wouldn’t have had the energy to release the events and feelings of the past unless you had literally put yourself in a new place.  It almost doesn’t matter where you moved, in that sense.  It’s the “newness” of this new place that will continue to motivate you to search deeper in your heart for what’s next. You have removed the old expectations about who you are, and now can find a new aspect of yourself.

    Looking at your numbers, I think you are a person whose life revolves more than most around people—family, friends, and social connections.  One of the things you had to learn was "stick-to-itiveness” and you have really done that in Boston.  You hung in there with all the long-term relationships with family and friends in a very intense community, where expectations were probably pretty narrow as to what you were supposed to do to fit in.  Now you have some breathing space, and it feels kind of scary or overwhelming, because you haven’t filled up the space around you (like it was automatically filled up in Boston.)

   You definitely needed a change, and I think that change is still evolving.  You may finish an important phase next year, as you are going into a 9 personal year as of January 2007.  This is a period of reflection in some cases, to think about things, integrate what you have learned, and begin to move forward.  Maybe one of your children will graduate, or there will be some other visible sign of progress.

   Personally, I would think you might move again sometime in 2008.  This first step in Texas may be the place you need to be to find the next step, which you could not have taken from the East Coast.

   In 2007, you will be in a 9 personal year--which favors completion, but at the same time on your birthday you enter into a 1 Essence.  The 1 Essence usually means that something new is going to stimulate you to change your thinking about who you are, or even cause you to make another move (major decisions are best made around or after October 2007.) You will be in the 1 Essence almost continuously until age 58.  A 1 Essence is about new directions, self-confidence, independence, exploration, starting a project, or sometimes being self-employed.  You might also be employed working around mostly men (the 1 rules the masculine.) It’s likely that you will marry again, but this time you need a more equal relationship.
    Cheers!
